These sibling species resemble ravine salamanders but are found east of the
Allegheny Mountains. Both have whiter throats than ravine salamanders and white
mottling on the belly.

They probably mate in the spring and deposit eggs in April and May. Young
emerge from eggs in about 3 months.

Valley and Ridge Salamanders are found from Summers and Monroe counties north
through the eastern panhandle. Shenandoah Mountain Salamanders occur on
Shenandoah Mountain in Pendleton, Hardy, Hampshire, and Grant counties.
